Google Maps

This is one resource that I have really appreciated at work. It provides instant road maps when searching for any address across North America, as well as driving directions. One advantage that I have found over other mapping technologies such as Mapquest and Yahoo, is that the maps can be clicked and dragged. What is even more impressive is that you can see your address via satellite imagery! You will find Google Maps here: link.
